The scandalous leader of a Bulgarian conservative party has pooled efforts with a controversial businessman, founder and owner of a large low-cost drug store chain to make a new foray together onto the large political scene next year.

The new coalition between Yane Yanev's party "Order, Law and Justice party" (RZS) and Vesselin Mareshki will be officially presented in the short term, the businessman said in an interview for Darik radio.

The coalition will be named "For Order, Law and Justice with Mareshki", apparently putting an emphasis on the businessman's role.
